Hi Folks-
Well... we've only had our Ole 59 Apache for about a week now and many of
you have been very helpful with your ideas and suggestion for how to get
started. We've also spoken to several people (local folks) who have offered
their thoughts as we try to decide how to proceed.
Here's one big problem that seems to be facing us (boy... what an education
we're getting here!). Some people feel that since the eventual goal is for
my son (now 8) to have a safe driving truck in 8 to 9 years... we should cut
off the front frame of the truck and weld on one from a "late model car".
Others feel that if I do that we will forever lose the antique value of the
truck.
What to do?! We know that there's a lot of experience here on the list so we
hope to learn more about the pros and cons.
Thanks to all who have educated us so far-
K&B 59 Apache 3600 Fleetside
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
